Talmud, the collection of Jewish legal wisdom and folklore, is a Hebrew word – תלמוד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/דף-גמרא-#.m4a” /], deriving from the root ל.מ.ד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/דף-גמרא-#.m4a” /] meaning study.
But there’s another word for Talmud which comes from Aramaic – גמרא[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/דף-גמרא-#.m4a” /].
And a page or folio of גמרא is דף גמרא[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/דף-גמרא-#.m4a” /], as in:

We did a white night over a single page Talmud.
